どの艦娘も個性的！ ――――では、早速ではありますが、ご担当された艦娘につきまして色々と伺ってまいります。 ２０１３年に三隈、衣笠と、潜水艦の伊１６８と伊５８、４隻分を一度に収録させていただきまして、 ――――では、その際の役作りについてお聞かせください。 そうですね、わりと決めゼリフといいますか、「くまりんこ」ですね。 ――――かけ声だったり、一人称だったりと不思議な言葉になっていますね。 三隈自身は、お嬢様っぽいキャラクターといいますか、わりとおっとりとしていて、 ――――では続いて、衣笠についてですが。 衣笠は仲のいい女の子というイメージ像というか、 ――――確かに、提督との距離感もかなり近いですよね。 わりとフランクで、でも提督を尊敬していないわけではなくて敬意もありつつ、 ――――あー！ すごくわかります。 でも衣笠には全然そんなつもりはなくて、自然と距離が近くなっている感じですよね。 ――――では続いて、かなり個性派ぞろいの潜水艦について、 イムヤも常識的とはいっても、スマホとか現代機器に通じていたりする変わったところがありますよね（笑）。 ――――お姉さんらしくあろう、としているところもありますね。 ちょっと背伸びしている感じが、端々から感じられる子ですよね。 ――――それと、ほかの潜水艦の艦娘と絡むセリフも多いですね。 そういった部分や、出撃する時のセリフにも「自分がやるんだ！」という強さが見られる子で、 ――――ではその、非常に個性的な伊５８についてですが。 ゴーヤはですね、まず第一印象は「でち」ですよね（笑）。 ――――提督たちからすると、そんなにセリフでは言っていないのに |
Each ship girl has her own unique quirk! -- Let's jump right in and ask you some questions about the ship girls you voiced. In 2013 we recorded the lines for Mikuma, Kinugasa and the submarines I-168 and I-58, so four ships, in one sitting, and in 2016 we recorded lines for just Hatsuzuki. -- In that case let me ask you about your preparations for those roles. First off is Mikuma, who I think has a lot of peculiar lines... She certainly does. Especially "Kumarino", which I consider pretty much her catchphrase. It's like her own favourite, she even calls herself like that occasionally. -- It's weird how it can work as a pronoun or to cheer her on. Mikuma herself is kind of like a lady-like character who's rather calm with a gentle way of talking. But she's not just a normal lady, she's also a girl with some weird quirks like suddenly shouting "Kumarinko!", so I was trying to properly express this discrepancy, but... I think that line alone is already enough to show this huge discrepancy, don't you think? *laughs* -- Well then, let's move on to Kinugasa. I imagine Kinugasa as someone you're very close to, so I guess the best way to describe her is the girl next door who's always there for you when you need her, which is why the strongest impression I got from her is that of a "childhood friend". -- Now that you mention it, she seems to be very close to the admiral. She's pretty frank, but it's not like she doesn't respect the admiral, she still does that. I guess she approaches you as something like a friend. Like, she's so close to you that she cheers you up when something happened, or when you're just talking about stuff and she suddenly she's right up in your face, making your heart skip a beat even though she's not particularly sexy. *laughs* -- Oh, I know exactly what you mean. But Kinugasa isn't doing that on purpose, I think it's just how she naturally approaches you. She might poke back if you poke her too much, but to her it's nothing more than just harmless messing around. Her lines gave me the impression that she's kind of toying with the admiral without actually realising it, so I've kept that point in mind. -- All right, moving on to the rather peculiar submarines. Let's start with I-168, whom many consider the ordinary one. You might call Imuya ordinary, but she still has some weird quirks like her obsession with modern devices such as smartphones. *laughs* I think she takes a role that's similar to someone's classmate, not too old and not too young. She can be somewhat aloof though. And due to the way she speaks I played her as someone who's a little bit more mature than the rest of her classmates. -- She does have her moments where she acts more like a grownup. Here and there I'm getting the impression that she's overdoing it a bit. -- She also has a lot of lines involving the other submarine girls. Apart from those parts there are also her sortie lines like "I'll do it myself!" that show how strong she can be, so I made sure to emphasise that she has a strong-willed personality and likes to drag everyone along. There are also some parts that show the contrast between her and Gōya. -- Then let's move to on this particularly eccentric Gōya. When it's about Gōya I suppose the first thing that comes to mind is "Dechi". *laughs* I've already talked about this during the KanColle film opening speeches, but...... She also slurs lines like "Please hit!" among others, and uses funny words in general. -- It doesn't appear in many of her lines, but as far as the admirals are concerned she's someone who constantly says "Dechi". |

そうなんですよ。「潜りまーす！」とか、普通の言葉遣いのセリフのほうが多い子なんですけど、 やはり「でち」の威力が強すぎて・・・・・・！ こういうアイコン的なセリフがあるキャラクターというのは、 演じさせていただいて楽しいですね。ツッコミどころが多くありつつも、正統派にかわいい感じです。 ――――正統派にかわいいところに、「でち」をはじめとするスパイスが効いているといった感じですね。 あと、初月の収録時に、ほかの艦娘たちの追加セリフも収録させていただいたんですが、 その時見たゴーヤのセリフはかなり「でち」成分が増えていまして。 ――――たしかに、追加セリフはほぼすべて「でち」を含んでいますね。 それを見た時に、「艦これ」にゴーヤが登場して以来、提督のみなさんの中で、 ゴーヤのキャラクターが確立してきて、それがセリフにも反映されたと思うとおもしろいですよね。 そういった意味では、自分が演じさせていただいた艦娘の中でも、 象徴的なキャラクターなのかなと思っています。 ――――そして続きまして、その追加セリフとともに最後に収録された初月ですが。 「艦これ」で初月以前に演じさせていただいた４隻は、どの子も年頃の女の子といったイメージで、 一人称も“私”がほとんどだったんですけど、初月は“僕”と言っているのがとても印象的でした。 収録の際にも、できる限り低い声で演じてほしいという話をいただきました。 ――――イメージとしては、やはり僕っ子という部分が強かったのでしょうか。 いわゆる僕っ子と言うよりは、大人のお姉さんと僕っ子の両方を併せ持ちつつ、 強さとか弱い部分が表裏一体になっている感じを意識しました。 でも、時報のボイスでは提督にデレているところもありまして、 私としても演じていて楽しませていただきました。 ――――朴訥というわけではないんですが、初月としては守るつもりでいても、 逆に守ってあげたくなるような面もありますね。 そうなんです、不思議な子なんですよね。セリフの収録は、大まかには最初は母港のボイス、 その後に戦闘のボイス、最後に時報という順番で収録していたので、 徐々に彼女の頑なな部分がほぐれていくような感じがありまして。 どんどん守ってあげたい女の子像に近づいていったんです。 ――――季節の追加ボイスにも、素のところが垣間見えていますよね。 季節ボイスですと、すでに提督に心を許した後、というイメージがありますね。 あと、彼女は提督のことを「お前」と呼ぶことがあるんですよ。 それを感じが悪くならないように、気を付けたところもありました。 ――――「お前」という部分をはじめ、あえて硬い言葉を多く使っているような印象もありますね。 そうですね。攻撃的な感情があるわけではなく、 提督のことを並列の同志として認めてくれているんだと思います。 「提督よ」と呼びかけるセリフも多いですが、それはまさに戦友といったイメージですね。 |
That's right. She's a girl with a lot of ordinary lines like "Diving~!", but the impact of "Dechi" was simply too strong...! It really is fun voicing a character with such an iconic line. There's a lot to say about her weird quirks, but she's also a generic cutie. -- So I guess in a way "Dechi" was used to spice up that generic cuteness. Also, when we were working on Hatsuzuki's lines we recorded additional lines for the other ship girls as well, and that time I noticed that Gōya's lines featured a lot of "Dechi". -- Now that you mention it, almost every single single they've added has "Dechi" in it. When I saw that I figured that after her first appearance Gōya's character had been established inside the admirals' minds and her lines reflected that, which I find really interesting. If I put it that way I suppose she's a symbolic character among the ones I voiced. -- With that said, let's move on to Hatsuzuki, whose lines you recorded together with those additional lines. The four KanColle girls I voiced before her were all girls that looked their age and talked like that, so Hatsuzuki's tomboyish way of talking left quite the impression on me. During the recording sessions I was told to get my voice as deep as possible for her. -- I suppose that really had a strong impression on you, hadn't it? To me she's not just a tomboy, it's more like she has both a boyish and a mature grown-up side, and similar to that I got the feeling that her strengths and weaknesses just belong together, like two sides of the same coin. However, in her hourly voice lines she also has her moments where she's warming up to the admiral, so I had lots of fun voicing her. -- It may not be that simple, but even when Hatsuzuki is trying to protect you you somehow end up wanting to protect her instead. Yes, she really is an odd girl. During the recording sessions we basically started with her idle lines, followed by her battle lines, and finally her hourly lines, so I got the impression that she was slowly starting to loosen up and be less stubborn. And thus I saw her more and more as a girl you just want to protect. -- Her seasonal lines also allowed you to catch a glimpse of what she's really like. Her seasonal lines give the impression that she's already trusting the admiral. Also, she's pretty frank and direct when talking to the admiral. For those lines I tried to avoid making it sound too off-putting. -- Speaking of which, I got the impression that she has a rather stiff and formal way of talking. She really does. I think that she doesn't harbour any aggressions, but rather considers the admirals her equal. Many of her lines have her say "Hey, admiral", which gives me the impression that they're war buddies. |

｜季節限定ボイスに ｜提督への気持ちが！ ――――では続いて、先ほど少しお話が出ていましたが、 季節限定のボイスの中で印象的だったものなどはありましたか？ 印象的、となりますと、まず一番はバレンタインのイムヤですかね。 「艦橋型スマホサイズチョコ」って！ ――――スマホに並々ならぬこだわりがあるんでしょうかね（笑）。 結構大変だったんだから、と言っていましたけど、そりゃもう時間もかかるだろうし、すごいもの作っているなぁと（笑）。 想像するとすごくおもしろくて、とても印象的でした。提督への愛情が、こんなところからも感じ取れますよね。 ――――バレンタインといえば、ゴーヤのゴーヤチョコも衝撃的でしたが。 ゴーヤということは、当然野菜のゴーヤを入れているんですよね？ ゴーヤの苦みとカカオの苦み、合うんでしょうか。 甘いイチゴを甘いチョコでコーティングするような・・・・・・。 実際にグッズ化したら、ちょっと興味が湧きそうですね。 ――――提督は食べるのに、たいぶ躊躇していましたが（笑）。 バレンタインで言えば、この潜水艦コンビがダントツでしたね。 一方、初月はホワイトデーのボイスのみでしたけど。 ――――戦闘糧食と言っていましたね。 初月は恋愛というか、そういった方面には鈍いんだろうなぁということがハッキリわかるセリフでしたね。 すごく真面目な子なんですよ。真面目すぎておもしろい、という感じが出せるように演じさせていただきました。 ――――缶詰をダメにした時のセリフなども、かなり印象的だったと思います。 あの「駄目、だな」と、ちゃんと間に点を入れているところがおもしろいセリフでしたね。 一度確認して、やっぱり駄目だったと、自分ひとりでしっかりと納得するというのがとても真面目で・・・・・・ そもそも缶詰の整理というのが、とても初月らしくてブレていないですし。 ――――では、重巡洋艦たちのセリフで印象的なものはありますか？ 三隈はとにかくモガミン大好きで・・・・・・ くまりんこチョコも謎ではあるんですけど、深く聞いちゃいけない気がしますよね（笑）。 一番印象的だったのは、お揃いの水着が買えなかったというあたりでしょうか。 ――――その水着は、かなり刺激的でしたよね。 最上としては買えなかったというより、うまく逃げたのではないかと・・・・・・。 うまい具合にスルーしてくれたのかも知れませんね。 私も三隈の水着姿を初めて見た時、「ダメ！ 三隈、ダメダメダメ！」って思いましたから（笑）。 ――――コラボイベントなどで色々な姿も披露してくれている衣笠ですが。 提督と仲がよいのはいつも変わっていなくて、 季節ボイスは私が演じさせていただいた艦娘の中では、 一番さっぱりしている感じはしますね。 ――――イメージ通りの正統派ですね。 ただ、クリスマスのボイスが「胃薬持ってきてあげようか？」だったのはおもしろかったですね（笑）。 でも、その気遣いが衣笠らしいというか、提督のことをしっかり見てくれている感じが出ていました。 ――――提督はあの時、色々な艦娘に食べ物をもらっていましたからね（笑）。 ほかには時報でアフターファイブと言ってしまったり、意外なボイスも多いですが。 連続テレビドラマとかも、しっかり観ているみたいですしね。 時報ボイスからだと、テレビが好きというか、若干の主婦感もただよってきているような気がします（笑）。 時報ボイスでおぉ～いと大井さんを振り向かせてしまったり、ダジャレ的なものも実は好きなのかなぁとか。 |
Their seasonal voice lines show their feelings for the admiral -- Since they came up earlier, let's move on to the seasonal voice lines. Are there any that left a lasting impression on you? If I had to name something that I found impressive the first thing that comes to mind is Imuya during Valentine's Day. Especially her "Smartphone-sized bridge-shaped chocolate"! -- She really has an almost unhealthy obsession with smartphones. *laughs* She said making it was really hard, so I figured it took a long time, but I didn't expect something that impressive. *laughs* Just imagining it was hilarious and left quite the impression on me. It's moments like those that allow you to feel her affection for the admiral. -- Speaking of Valentine's Day, Gōya's Gōya chocolate also had quite the impact. When you hear Gōya you obviously think she put an actual bitter melon into it, right? The bitterness of both Gōya and cacao... I wonder if that actually works. Like coating a sweet strawberry in sweet chocolate... If they really made some I might actually be a bit interested. -- The admiral was hesitating for a while before actually eating it though. *laughs* When it comes to Valentine's Day that submarine duo really was the highlight. Meanwhile Hatsuzuki only received White Day voice lines. -- She called the chocolate "combat rations", didn't she? That line made it perfectly clear that when it comes to romance and similar stuff Hatsuzuki might not exactly be the sharpest tool in the shed. She's a really serious girl. So much so it's hilarious, and I made sure to express that while voicing her. -- I think her other lines, such as the one where canned food had gone to waste, were pretty impressive too. Her "Yes, it's gone bad" line and that pause in the middle were really funny. It's just so serious of her that she checks the can once, realises that it really went bad and then comes to terms with it...... But then again, organising canned food is totally something she'd do in the first place. -- All right, are there any lines by the heavy cruisers that left an impression on you? Well, Mikuma really loves Mogamin...... I don't know what she put into her Kumarinko chocolate, but for some reason I have this feeling that certain questions are better left unanswered. *laughs* If there's one thing that really left a huge impression on me, I guess it's that they couldn't buy matching swimsuits. -- That swimsuit was quite provocative, wasn't it? I guess it's not that Mogami couldn't buy one, but more like she somehow managed to run away from all this...... Or maybe she made up an excuse that was good enough. When I saw Mikuma in her swimsuit for the first time my thoughts were "Oh God, please no! Mikuma, no! Just no! Why are you doing this?!?" *laughs* -- Kinugasa has also sported many different outfits for various collaboration projects among other things. She's close to the admiral as usual, and among all the ship girls I've voiced I found her seasonal voice lines to be the most refreshing. -- As expected from someone as normal as her. However, I found it hilarious that her Christmas line was "Want me to bring you some stomach meds?" of all things. *laughs* But that consideration is just like her and shows how much she's looking after the admiral. -- Well, the admiral got food from many different ship girls back then. *laughs* Anyway, Kinugasa actually has many unexpected voice lines, like that "after five" in her hourly lines. It's almost as if she's watching those TV drama series. Though her hourly lines don't just make her sound like she loves watching TV, but are actually giving me housewife vibes, at least a little bit. *laughs* Her hourly lines feature moments like her shouting "Oooo~i", which made Ooi turn around, so I guess she's also really fond of puns. |

――――放置ボイスも、各艦娘でかわいいものが揃っていますよね。 潜水艦の子たちはさみしがったりしますけど、そんな中で初月はしっかりと整備を始めたりしますからね。 こういう対比もおもしろいですね。
｜リアルと響き合う ｜「艦これ」の広がりに期待！ ――――そして第参回の観艦式では、演じておられる衣笠の衣装をまとって出演されていましたが、あの衣装は・・・・・・？ キャラクターのイラストを参考に、ＣＯＳＰＡのスタッフのみなさんに一から作っていただいたものです。 採寸から全部やっていただいて、完全なフルオーダーメイドになっています。 ――――セーラー服部分の色合いまで、完璧に再現されていましたね。 生地や手袋の材質などにもこだわっていただきましたし、さらに舞台でマイクを持つと滑ってしまうということで、 手袋を指抜きにしてくださったりと、お気遣いもいただいているんです。 ――――生地と実用性まで・・・・・・それだけで一記事が作れそうなこだわりですね。 あの衣装は、ぜひまた着たいですね。 ――――では、観艦式に実際に出演してみての感想をお聞かせいただけますか。 ゲームの収録の時はひとりでしたけど、「艦これ」のイベントに出演させていただくのはこれが初めてで、 今まで自分の中では平面だったものが立体になると言いますか、隣でほかの艦娘のみなさんの声を聞けるだけでも、 キャラクターがこの世界に飛び出してきたような気持ちになれました。 そして実際に目の前で提督のみなさんが「こんな風に、こんな気持ちを持って応援してくれている」、という景色を見ることができましたので、 「艦これ」の世界が浮き上がってきて、純粋に楽しませていただいたイベントでした。 ――――ほかのキャストの方との掛け合いも、多くありましたね。 艦娘は、ゲームの中にいる存在なんですけど、 それを人と人とで世界観やキャラクター像を作り上げていくことができるんですよね。 そういう観点からすると、イベントが持つ意味ってとても大きいなぁと思いました。 イベントでの出来事が、後のアフレコの際にもフィードバックしてくる部分もあると思います。 ――――そして、その衣装もまとっておられた衣笠が、「劇場版 艦これ」では序盤から大活躍していました。 そこで当初の収録時と比べて、アニメで衣笠の印象には変化はあったのでしょうか？ 衣笠は実際に動いている姿を見ると、より可憐なイメージが私の中で強くなりましたね。 序盤の部分で、かなり激しい戦闘で動き回ってくれていましたし。 あと、衣笠は改二になる前のイラストですと、眉がつり上がっているイメージもあったんです。 隣にいる幼なじみ感もありつつ、いざ戦闘になると強気なのかな、と思っていたんですけど、 「劇場版 艦これ」の戦闘を見るとちょっと余裕があるというか、 キリキリしすぎないところがあるんじゃないかな、と思いました。 ――――では、その「劇場版 艦これ」の収録の現場で、 印象的だった出来事などありましたらお聞かせいただけますか。 ほかのキャストさんが何役も瞬時に切り替えたり、 ひとりで担当の艦娘同士の掛け合いをしている方もいて、 その風景は衝撃的でした。あとは、あのアドリブのシーンですね。 ――――屋台がいくつも出て、お祭りのようになるシーンですね。 私も衣笠として、青葉がどこかに写真を撮りに行っちゃったという演技をさせていただきましたけど、 ゲームだとセリフはすべて台本で決まっていますので、衣笠でのアドリブは初めてでした。 それにあのシーンは収録当日に「ここ、アドリブでーす」と言われましたので、 事前に用意してきてはいなかったんですよね。そのぶん、さらに刺激的でした。 スタジオにいた全員が、ひとりひとり収録している姿をこの目で見ることができまして、 キャラクターひとりひとりがしっかり立っていないと、こんなことはできないだろうなぁと感動しましたね。 |
-- Your girls also have cute idle lines. The submarine girls start to feel lonely, and then there's Hatsuzuki who suddenly starts diligently servicing her equipment. I find that contrast hilarious.
Looking forward to how KanColle is expanding while having a huge impact on the real world -- At the Fourth Naval Review you were playing Kinugasa and actually dressed like her. About that outfit...... I had the COSPA staff make it from scratch based on her character artworks. They did everything starting from taking my measurements, so it's entirely custom-made. -- They even managed to perfectly replicate the hue of the sailor uniform parts. I was also really particular about details like the fabric or the material used for the gloves, not to mention that I had them made fingerless so that the mic wouldn't slip out of my hand while on stage. -- So it wasn't just about the fabric, but even about practicability...... We could write an entire article about such an obsession with the smallest details. I'd love to wear that outfit again. -- Well then, what are your thoughts on the Naval Reviews now that you've actually attended one? I was basically alone during my voice recordings for the game, but this was my first time attending a KanColle event, so watching the ship girls who've been 2D in my mind until then suddenly become 3D, or rather, being able to hear their voices as if they were standing right next to me almost made me think that they jumped out of the game into our world. And then I was able to actually experience the scenery of all the admirals out there cheering us on, which made the world of KanColle stand out in my books and of course made for a genuinely enjoyable event. -- You also had many conversations with the rest of the cast, didn't you? Well, the ship girls only exist inside the game, but nevertheless you can create new settings and character images together with other people. If you look at it this way then events like these have a very important purpose in my opinion. Anything that happens at an event can have an impact on later developments, even if only partially. -- Going back to that outfit, its original owner put up quite the show in the KanColle film right from the beginning. How did your opinion on Kinugasa change, if at all, when comparing the first voice recordings with her appearance in the anime? When I watched Kinugasa actually move she became even cuter in my opinion. And she really moved around during that fierce battle in the film's prologue. Also, I've always thought that she was knitting her brows in her pre-K2 artwork. I felt that she's strong and confident when push comes to shove all while still giving off those girl next door vibes, but when I was watching the fight scenes of the KanColle film I got the impression that she was taking it easy a little bit, as in, she wasn't pushing herself too hard. -- All right then, were there any incidents at the KanColle film recording studio that left an impression on you? It was astonishing watching the rest of the cast instantly switch between several roles or voice conversations between their roles all on their own. And of course that one ad-lib scene. -- You mean that festival scene with all those food stalls, right? I played Kinugasa as if Aoba had just run off somewhere to take pictures, but for the game every single line has been set in stone as it's written in the script, so this was my first time ad-libbing something as Kinugasa. Besides, on the day of the recording we were basically told "Make stuff up here" for that scene, so I actually didn't have anything prepared in advance. That made it even more shocking. I got to watch every single one at the studio record their lines on their own, and you really can't pull that off unless you can get into character for every single role. Imagine how impressed I was! |

――――それと、「劇場版 艦これ」では４Ｄ版の舞台挨拶にも登壇されていましたが、 ４Ｄでさらに印象が変わった部分などはありましたか？ 舞台挨拶の前に、４Ｄ自体を初めて体験させていただきまして、 まずものすごく動いていたのがすごかったですね！ 椅子が常に海の上、船の上にいるような動きをしていて驚かされました。 それと、やや多めとは聞いていましたが、水しぶきもすごかったですね。大量でした（笑）。 それと、砲撃する際の体感も揺れと地鳴りのような低音で、 撃った時のズシンと来る感覚がとてもリアルでした。 ――――様々な手法で、とにかくリアルさを高めてくれていましたね。 実際に体験してみると、「なんとなくこういう感じなのかな」というリアルさじゃなくて 「きっと本当にこうなんだろうな」という現実感を受けました！ ストーリーや細かいところを追って観たいなら２Ｄがいいと思いますけど、 艦娘たちがいる世界を感じたい提督さんは、ぜひ４Ｄを体感していただきたいですね！ ――――様々なイベントで「艦これ」の世界を体感してきた中島愛ですが、 今後こういう展開などがあればおもしろそうだというご希望などはありますか？ 個人的な願望になっちゃいますが、衣笠がアニメで動いている姿が見られましたので、 願わくばほかの担当艦娘もアニメで動いたり、ほかの艦娘たちといっぱい話しているところを見たいなー、と思っています。 ――――掛け合いについては、今後の観艦式でもチャンスはありそうですね。 第参回では基本的には初月と衣笠がメインでしたので、今度は潜水艦たちでなにかやれるといいです！ ――――では最後に、提督のみなさんへメッセージをお願いします。 提督のみなさん、いつも本当にありがとうございます。 月並みな言葉ではあるんですが、「艦これ」のゲームだけでなく、 観艦式やアニメなどを通して「艦これ」に関わらせていただいて以来、 提督のみなさんの愛情があるからこそ様々なことが全部実現していると、改めて感じました。 四周年を間もなく迎え、そしてこれからも、愛し続けてもらえる作品であると思っています。 多くの艦娘たちがいますが、提督のみなさんが、ひとりひとりに愛情をもって接してくれているからこそ、 「艦これ」は、まだ想像もできないような広がりを見せてくれると思います。 それにはキャストとスタッフはもちろん、やっぱり提督のみなさんの力が一番強いものになると思いますので、 ぜひこれからもみんなで一致団結して「艦これ」を盛り上げていけるように、期待したいと思います！ |
-- You also attended the opening speeches for the 4D version of the KanColle film. Are there any parts that gave you different impressions after watching them in 4D? I had my first experience with 4D itself before the opening speeches, and first of all, it's just impressive how much movement there is! I was really surprised how the seat was always moving as if you were above the sea on a ship. I'd also heard quite a lot about the water sprays, but those were amazing as well. I really got showered. *laughs* And then there was the shelling. The tremor and earthquake-like bass just made those moments where a shell hit feel so real. -- They really are trying to crank up the realism in many different ways. When I experienced it firsthand I didn't perceive it as "Okay, I guess it might be something like this", but more like "Yep, I'm pretty sure this is what it's like". I think 2D is good enough if you just want to experience the story and its details, but admirals who really want to feel the world the ship girls live in should experience it in 4D. -- You've been experiencing the world of KanColle at various events, but is there anything that you'd find interesting and would like to see in the future? It'd be a very personal wish, but after seeing Kinugasa move in the anime I'd really love to see my other girls in motion and talking a lot with other ship girls. -- As far as conversations are concerned you'll probably have many opportunites at future Naval Reviews. At the third one Hatsuzuki and Kinugasa basically were my main roles, so it would be nice if I can do something with my submarine girls next time. -- And to wrap this up, a message to all the admirals out there, if you will. Thank you for everything, admirals. I know this might sound generic, but ever since I've been exposed to KanColle not just through the game, but also via the Naval Reviews and the anime, I once again realised that so many things have become reality just because of your love and dedication. KanColle's fourth anniversary is almost around the corner, and I believe that it is a franchise that will continue to receive lots of love. There are so many ship girls out there, but it's because you show love and affection to every single one of them that I believe KanColle will expand in ways I cannot even begin to imagine. For that support by the cast and staff is obviously important, but I think the strongest support will be you, the admirals, so I'd love for all of us together to get hyped for KanColle and look foward to what the future has in store for us! |
